Well, you know...

There have been quite a few threads discussing what people would change about the board. Everybody had something to say, but nobody did anything. What are you willing to do?

The board has provided all of us with countless hours of entertainment. Maybe it's time we give something back.

Lurkers, show yourselves. The time is now, our mission: POST MORE INTERESTING SHIT. (at least that would be a start)




And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is K1d when I lay my vengeance upon you.

What are you waiting for? Do it!

I'd tell you to go fuck yourself seph, but if you could do that, I don't think you would be reading the board.

So instead, I'll steal another one of your 'image macros'...

Less Lurking, More Trolling -

Trolling can loosely be defined as "posting with the deliberate attempt to inflame others".

Who votes that for Kid's new addition to his status?

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

What in the hell are you talking about? Trolling? Inflaming others? In just about every other thread I post in, but certainly not in this one.

You know kid, if i wasnt so dangerously close to going over my allowable bandwidth transfer for the month with Homestead, I would so kick your ass with Image Macros.

You know, I know it, the board knows it.

Im content with that knowledge.

If your that bored Kid, post something worthy of your status.

Is this the 10th or 11th thread of this nature started in the past month?

Kid, if you really want interesting content, the start posting interesting threads. Stop asking people to post more. If they want to post more, they would. Remember what happens when people start posting more? We get alot of dumb shit on the board. I'd rather have fewer quality threads, then tons of shit threads about nothing.

Hey maynard, go post a lunch thread you piece of shit. I think it would be good if more people posted more shit. My posting threads doesn't make it more interesting for everyone, and probably only for me. If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

I'm not talking about the status that our witty mods gave you. I don't have the time to read all that. I'm talking about the status associated in being "kid africa".

All you do now is start meaningless threads that do nothing to contribute to the health of the board. Starting a thread to ask others to post more "interesting shit". Come on!!! Why not do it yourself???

Revolution 1

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
we all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
we'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
we all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

oh silly me, i thought this was the music forum...



...i think you're the least fucked up
person i've ever met
and that may be as close to the real thing
as i'm ever gonna get
but my quarter's gonna run out now
or so i'm told
i guess i'd better go sit down
and wait for you
till my coffee gets cold...

I cannot change the face of the board on my own. I try to post threads that I think people will be interested in, and they are usually mildly successful. However, the more threads I post, the more people say, "dying for attention, aren't you?".

But whatever, at least I try, this time you people are the ones sitting here criticizing my efforts.




And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious

I'll agree 1 man can not change the face or tempo of the board, but you are hurting it with the "please post something" threads.

Now that was funny and worthwhile to read. I'm not saying start a thread ripping on Maynard, but If we get more posts that have some value inside, by us all, we can move the board in a different direction.

I think I just lost any respect I had for your intelligence k1d. Your "piece of shit" comments were probably the dumbest thing I have ever heard you say. And why is it that you didn't rip apart everyone else in this thread for saying the exact same thing that I did?

It looks to me like everyone that responded to your dumb fuck thread that you need to continually re-post to make people think that you are important is an active poster. Do I care when you post dumb threads like the ink-a-dink? NO! Those are the onese that I kinda like, because they take many twists and turns. It's this kind of thread that is ruining the board. The board was a little slow for awhile, but then you and Slash had to go running around in every thread saying that the board was dead. Well guess what, you two helped that. You keep talking about OTHER people needing to do some work here to help the board, but where's all the work you're doing? I think that every good thing you do for the board gets cancelled out by posting crap like this.

I am not trying to pick a fight with you here, I am just stating MY OPINION. After all, you said yourself that that's ok right?

Ha! I never ran around in threads stating that the board was dead, I only replied to topics that discussed the state of the board. I made 1 post in those threads on my feelings, and after that it was all about defiling for me.

If you want to place blame on the board being where it is, blame the chat thread mentality. Sure, those threads have their place, but two or three threads DO NOT make a message board, they make a "logged" chatroom.

As for all the work that I am doing... I have not changed the way I post here 1 bit. I have rarely ever started threads, and I will rarely start threads in the future. It was the people who used to start threads that I would reply to that either A.) Left the board or B.) Found complacency in chat threads.

Like it or not, the message board jumped the shark when it became a community. Maybe it is an idea whose time has past. I for one am sick of having to watch out for everyone's feelings 'cause I don't know who knows who, who's banging who, who is trying to bang who etc. etc.
